Procurement Options

An assessment of all available site information and other important data

These considerations allow you to accurately assess whether your project is viable, analyses all feasible options available to you and that your budget is adequate for your project needs.

Building Regulation Applications

Building regulations approval is different to planning permission and you may need both for your project. The UK Building regulations set specific standards for the design and construction of buildings. The detailed requirements are scheduled within 16 separate headings.

Regulations apply if you want to:

Put up a new building

Extend or alter an existing building

Provide services and/or fittings in a building, such as sanitary facilities, water cylinders, foul water and rain water drainage, replacement windows, and fuel burning appliance of any type

Our team fully understand the regulations and are able to offer advice and support on building regulations and other crucial consultancy services. Without approval you will not have the certificates of compliance you may need when you want to sell the property.
